Muscat: Omanis and expatriates can now access all e-Government services thanks to a new Electronic Certificate service, which provides each person with a digital identity and has been launched by the Information Telecommunication Authority (ITA) in cooperation with the Royal Oman Police (ROP).
The service called ‘Tam’ allows registered citizens and residents to use government electronic services and finish transactions in a fast and secure way.

Businessmen and job seekers can benefit from Tam simply by visiting ITA’s booths in Qurum and the Muscat City Centre.
It is also possible to register using a mobile SIM card, which is available at Omantel and Ooredoo’s outlets.
The new service is protected by Oman’s e-Transaction Law and provides clients with highest levels of trust and legality.
After getting the Tam’ service, users can have their personal data secured, will be able to sign any document of application electronically and have 24/7 access to services provided by many government organisations, including the Muscat Municipality, Ministry of Manpower, Ministry of Health, the Public Prosecution, the Al Raffad Fund and others.
Free service
However, people with IDs that have an expiry date before July 14, 2018 will not be able to register for ‘Tam’. ITA had launched a campaign to promote the free service on December 22, 2015.
